Some patients who require dental implants in the upper back portion of their mouth do not have enough bone to support the placement of an implant. Dr. Kilimitzoglou must build up this area of bone before performing the implant procedure, in order to ensure successful results. However, this is a delicate area where the sinuses are located. In these instances, Dr. Kilimitzoglou performs a procedure in which he lifts the sinuses, creating room for bone to be regenerated. This makes the area more stable to support an implant.
